GoRHAM NORMAL SCHOOL.
What Principal CortheH Says Con-
corning it.

Hon. W. j. corthell. formerly State Sup
erintendent of Schools, and now Principal Of
the Gorham Normal School, is at present al
Colby University as representative of the
examining committee of that institution.
In conversation with Journal representa-
tive MIR. Corthell reported the Gorham Nor.
mai School to be in a most fourishlng condi-
ton "We are now" he said, Sin the midst
OF our weeks vacation in our twenty weeks
term. We don't admit but twice a year al
Gorham, and our terms are thus longer than
In most similar institutions. We have now
about ninety students in our regular depart
ment, and about fifty in our model school
Most any one can come into the latter school
We have two grades in it, primary and inter
mediate. The courses cover six years"
do the greater part of your graduates be-
come teachers!"
''fes about ninety-five per cent of them.
The school received its first class in 1879
Since that time it has graduated some 27s
pupils and last June all but twelve of them
were teaching"
How does their work as teachers compare
with that done by graduates of high schools
and colleges?"
with high school graduates there is no
comparison to be made. In fact over half
of the present members of my school are
graduates of high schools. As regards col
lege graduates, Ne graduates of normal
schools can beat them every time, as far as
they have gone. Especially is this the case
in the common branches of education.
But it was nearly train time and the genial
Maine educator FASTENED away to catch the
special freight to Waterville.

HIS FIRST CRIME.
a Brother OF Young Dend. Goes 70
Waterville to See Him.

An older brother of Dennis ono 80 III.
'hree young burglars who broke into the store
IN "aterville, passed through the city Tues
uAy evening en- route for that place to attend
INC examination of the boys. He was a quiet.
NICE appearing young man, and made good
impression.
IN conversation with Journal representa-
tive, he said
ms has been heavy and most humil-
latihg blow to our family Ny brother is not
naturally bad boy. Indeed, we always con-
sidered him very good boy before he came
under the influence of Hyatt. HYATT has a
Dad record. His parents are excellent peo-
pie, and his whole career has been terrible
grief to them. His father told me some time
ago that he had paid out over $1,000 in getting
MN out of scrapes, but that the next time he
was arrested he should let the law take its
course"
has he been arrested before?"
YES, several times. Several years ago he
broke INTO house on Berkeley street and
was sent to Deer Island for it, He got off
for good behavior, and got into more trouble
Tor which he was sent to the reform school at
Westboro. Good behavior shortened his
sentence there. Then last spring he was ar
rested for stealing jewelry at X. II. Whites.
but do not know how the matter was fixed
up or what was done about it. This boy has
had strange influence over my brother re-
Gently. They have been into Maine three
times. Hyatt had plenty of money. He is
known as a bad boy, and they will not even
accept him as pupil in any public school in
Boston"
What will you do with your brother if
you carry him home with you?'
My brother, who is an Episcopal minister,
intends to place him in school of that de-
nomination in Orange, n. j. With this les
son and away from Hyatt's influence we think
he will be a good boy. Officer Hill, of
Wateryille, who went up to Boston to inves-
tigate the records OF these boys could have
found nothing but good of my brother, for he
has always borne good reputation at home.
Hyatt's father will probably come through to
Wateryille tonight to see his boy. shall
go there by this $50 special freight train"
Did the boys read dime novels?"
Yes, that was at the bottom of this trou-
BILE. 4 while ago | found in the house two
of these books which my brother had been
reading. They both had Hyatt's name on
them. | took them and burned them up, and
1t Is to be hoped that this one misguided
boy at least, who is suffering the humiliation
of his first crime, and who has brought dis
grace and sorrow upon good home and kind
parents, may be saved from further journey
along the terrible pathway upon which he has
! lust entered.

Festival Service In st. Marks.

Every seat in st. Marks, not only in the
church but in the antc-chapel. was occupied
on Tuesday evening, on the occasion of the
choir festival. The choir, consisting of
seventeen men and ten boys supplemented
By ten ladies, showed, by the accuracy and
care with which the choral service, the
hymns and the anthems were all rendered
what excellent training they have had, and
what patient work they have done. 1t should
be understood that the ladies and men are
volunteers receiving no remuneration what
ever except the pleasure of being engaged in
adding to the beauty of devine service
The delicate treatment of Goss's beautiful
anthem, 80, Taste and See" was particular
" worthy of notice, but the feature of the
service that showed the best work, though
itself not of the purest order of church music
was the anthem Setting of Psalm 3d. by
Hodges. The organist and choirmaster
Mr.. F. c. Hyde, is to be most highly com
mcnded for the wonderful result which he
has succeeded in producing in
such II short time. His skill
and unwcaried patience are deserving of all
praise. AS this is the effect of less than one
years work, we look forward with confident
anticipation to even much higher level
next wear. st. Marks choir is certainly a
credit to the parish and to the city. We
understand that the festival music is to be
repeated on Sunday evening.

Evidence of Enterprise
and Prosperity"

The weekly kennebec Journal will be 90
years old next January. The daily edition
was started about IL years ago. The field
was not large and the enterprise was some
what doubtful at first. But the paper held
its own, and under its new management is
showing unmistakable evidence of enter
prise and prosperity. 1t appears this week
in an enlarged form---the first enlargement
since the paper was started--and with its new
dress of type is now a handsome sheet of 32
columns. The increase is nearly one-third
and is made necessary by increased advertis
ing patronage and the necessity of more room
for reading matter. The proprietors of the
Journal are to be congratulated on their good
fortune.
